DM coin mechs

[kevlar]

I have 6 DM coin mechs, are they good for anything apart from paper weights? I have no idea how coin mechs work, have them on most of my machines but have never put a coin in any of them. Can they be adjusted to take different coins or shall i just bin them?

You got a pic Kev?? Most can be reprogrammed, however with reprogramming costs from £10+ then sometimes not economical...

What kind of mechs are they? The old single denomination type, or the newer multi coin?

 

[kevlar]

They are old single denomination mechs, purely mechanical so I guess I can bin these?



Looking at my newer machines the mechs have a ribbon cable coming from them so I guess they are the programmable ones Paul?

You can adjust them somewhat, but it's a bit trial and error ....
